Ing OF one man with the firm. George
Brooke, President of the company, issued
an address to the men, al vising them to
leave the Knights of Labor, saying "its
laws are more tyrannical than those of
the most despotic government" The

Ing them no good but great injury, and
was deprivlng them of work and wages"
On Saturday an amicable adjustment was
made, and all the mills will resume to-

Ohiidrsn suRocAtsd at . Camden fire.
A fire occurred on Saturday In the
Old Kaighn's Point Ferry Hotel, Cam den
New Jersey, kept by John Korn, at
second and Kaighn's avenue, and result
ed In the death of three children and the
serious burning Of their parents. The FIRE
started In the building, which is of an L
shape, one portion being on Front street
and the other on Kaighn's avenue, shortly
aiter 10 O'Clock, aud was caused by the
explosion OF gasoline oil. In n short time
the wood work OF the building was con
sumed aud nothing but the walls left
|standing.
The fire originated In a little room on
the west OF the hallway leading to the Sec
ohd story, which the customers and board
efs used AS wash room and where the
oils used for lighing purposes were stored.
III was few minutes after ten O'Clock
when Mr.. Korn discovered his lamps
needed rc6lling, and ordered Gebhardt
Sellers, the bartender, TO attend to them.
lie went to the wash.room with four
lamps which he filed from the gasoline
tank, when he was called to wait on Gus
toners at the bar. He left the lamps
near the can, one of them being lighted.
When he returned from serving the
customers he was met at the doorway by
. dense volume OF smoke, that drove him
back to the bar-room door. He imme-
diately gave ths alarm, and number of
persons In the saloon went to his assis-
tan % and endeavored to extinguish the
flames, but, seeing that their efforts were
iruilless, they rushed into the streets and
alarmed the residents by the cry of fire.
A policeman, hearing the cry, FASTENED
to the nearest alarm box and summoned
the fire department. By the time the
members OF the department arrived the
building was In flames.
The inmates aud the firemen eought
Mr.. Korn and asked If there was any per-
son In the house;or whether all his family
made their escape At the first alarm.
They were told there was no person In the
house. His three children, he said, were
at party across the street. While the
firemen were fighting the flames woman
on the opposite corner began crying at
the top OF her voice: "There is q family OF
seven persons perishing In the back part
| OF that building and no one is trying 10
save them" Immediately the fireman
| and citizens FASTENED to the spot indica-
ted, when they saw man jump from the
window and fall head foremost among
them. He was followed by babe, then
jby woman. These persons were part OF
the family Of Charles Bauerle, who, with
his wife and five children, occupied the
southern part of the building, over the
room where the Ire originated. AS soon
as the woman reached the ground she
begged of the bystanders to save the re
manning three children, whom she was
compelled 10 forsake by the flames and
smoke. The flremen aud a number o
city officials mounted ladder, and
shortly afterwards the body of one OF the
children was handed down, followed BY
the other two, but In each case llic
was extinct and the bodies terribly burn
led.
